I couldn't agree more.

If you think about it... Go to a rental house and hire a camcorder, tripod, batteries, lenses, sound gear etc.etc. and you'll find that it comes to around £350 for a weekend. Then when you add computer time, consumables, travel and so on you'll see that you're not earning anything at all. (Okay, so you own the gear and don't have to hire it, but you still had to pay for it and that has to be calculated as costs, as does wear and tear. )

In other words, someone who's so desperate to work for nothing can't be any good.

Edit: I recommend any budding wedding videographers to click on Marc's link... an excellent thought-provoking article.
